Both cameras also
offer optical image stabilisation for the first time - that was reserved for solely the Plus model previously, but is now found on the «standard» iPhone 7.
In previous years, the two iPhones - the standard and the Plus - have been almost identical aside from their physical size and the inclusion
of optical image stabilisation on one and not the other, but this year the difference is, well, different.
As well
as optical image stabilisation, it comes with an enhanced electronic image stabilisation, so that both still imaged and video are as smooth as possible.
The Galaxy Note 5 will be launched with a powerful 16 Megapixel camera armed with hardware features
like Optical Image Stabilisation, autofocus and dual - tone LED flash.
As is usual with what was once Nokia's devices, but is now Microsoft's the Pureview camera has a Zeiss lens attaches, the «rich recording» feature that captures better sound that competitors and the company's «thinnest
optical image stabilisation system to date».
The real stand out feature here is that the Galaxy Note 8 has the first dual camera system with
optical image stabilisation in both lenses, which means images from either lens should be crisp and sharp in most lighting conditions.
Samsung has equipped Galaxy Note 4 with a powerful 16 Megapixels primary camera on its rear panel with features like
Smart Optical Image Stabilisation, Fast Auto Focus and Live HDR.
LG has used its latest 13 - megapixel camera in the G2, with
optical image stabilisation which promises a far steadier shot, even over rival phones with similar technologies.
If a full - HD screen was not enough of a sway for the size upgrade, that the iPhone 6 Plus
boasts optical image stabilisation, instead of the digital found in the standard iPhone 6, could do the trick.
Google uses a combination of phase detection autofocus and laser autofocus, but it
skips optical image stabilisation and there is a lot less in terms of manual control.
The pairing here gives you a regular camera that's boasting all the performance specs you want it to: it has large pixels to let in more light, it offers phase detection autofocus so it's nice and fast, there's a wide aperture and
optical image stabilisation too.
It sports a 13 - megapixel camera sensor on the rear along with laser auto - focus and
Optical Image Stabilisation Plus (OIS +) technologies which were debut on the company's G3 flagship smartphone last year.
Flip it over, however, and it shows off some design tweaks: the fingerprint scanner, which is positioned to the rear for quick access, is now a circular opening rather than a square one; while the upgraded 16MP rear camera protrudes slightly from the phone's body thanks to what Huawei has describes as «the best
optical image stabilisation available» - more on that later.
You will also
find optical image stabilisation on the iPhone 6S Plus, which isn't available on the iPhone 6S, but it doesn't offer auto image stabilisation on the front like the iPhone 7 and 8 models.
The primary camera also has four -
axis optical image stabilisation (OIS) and three - axis electronic image stabilisation (EIS) duo to stabilise your 4K video content.
The big difference on the iPhone X is that both these cameras
offer optical image stabilisation, whereas on the Plus phones, only the wide - angle lens is stabilised.
